Losing

I’ve a small lie

That I’m saving for you

It’s a long time

Since you said we were through

Is that what you want from me?

To leave you out in the cold?

Is that what you planned for me?

Alone as I lose my hold?

It’s a tall fine

That you’ll owe to your gods

When they come by

Playing down all your odds

Is that what I want from you?

To let you leave me behind?

Is that what I planned for you?

To only live in your mind?
